Observe the process of how a theatrical piece is conceived, step by step, by attending working rehearsals of a new show with acclaimed writer and director Amparo Garcia-Crow and performer Aralyn Hughes. You’ll have the chance to witness a work in development, with the unique opportunity of being able to contribute to its creation.

During the last year Amparo has developed and directed a series of interactive one-woman shows starring Aralyn Hughes, iconic artist and performer. The current show is called I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency), which will be performed at the Dougherty Arts Center in Austin on June 14th, 15th, and 16th. The 8th solo performance in the series, I.C.E. poses the question: "Who do you call to resuscitate you when you're no longer looking for love in all the wrong places?" If Gloria Steinem was your hero--and you too passed on the role of the "homemaker and motherly hand that rocks the cradle"--where did that all get you?

As part of your experience, you’ll spend the day with the director and actor as they rehearse, taking on an active role if you desire by giving feedback and interacting with the show and its content. The writing and creation of the material is an ongoing process, with changes and modifications being made every day. You’ll then return to see the show performed live and possibly participate as well, if your interaction proved integral to the material. Plans are being made to turn the series into a documentary film.

Join us for this unique chance to see how a show is brought to life, and experience cutting edge theater from the inside!
